JAKARTA - The Duren Sawit Police encountered difficulties in uncovering the discovery of their skulls and bones in a water channel, Jalan Raden Inten, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta.

These obstacles range from the absence of any family to report until the difficulty of searching for traces of the removal of the body that was found to be the bone.

"There is CCTV at the location, but nothing goes directly to the location," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Duren Sawit Police, AKP Indra to reporters, Tuesday, October 31.

Meanwhile, from the statements of two witnesses from the security guard in the surrounding area, they only received information from the Water Resources Task Force (SDA) that there were packages on the sewers.

"After being removed, he found the package containing the skull of the head. After checking back into the culvert, there was another bone, there were three bones," he repeated the initial chronology of the discovery of the incident.

AKP Indra explained that the condition of the skull was wrapped not tied in a black t-shirt. The witness said that the condition of the skull was placed (by the SDA task force) and then submitted to the local security guard and forwarded to the head of the RT.

"There have been 7 witnesses examined, including 4 from the Natural Resources Task Force, 2 security guards and 1 Head of RT. For now, no family has contacted the loss of family," he said.

Even so, the forensic team of the Kramat Jati Police Hospital has succeeded in identifying the human skull and bones found in the waterway of Jalan Raden Inten, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta.

According to the Head of the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, Brigadier General Hariyanto, the identity of the skull is known to belong to a male male male, aged between 44-65 years.
